Earlier this year, the Environment Agency was called in to help after residents complained about the smell emitting from the site.
Mr Blunt said "It is essential that people continue to report apparent smells from the site promptly.
I am sure that some local residents will by now feel a sense of futility at picking up the phone, but residents should call the Environment Agency's hotline 0800 80 70 60 as soon as they believe that they have smelt something coming from the site.
"This enables both Biffa and the Environment Agency to verify the reports and act on them – retrospective or incidental complaints cannot be properly investigated."
He also encouraged community groups to compete for Biffa Award grants which are made available by visiting www.biffa-award.org/get-involved
